Red zones are considered contagious and strict MCO is still actively enforced. For green and yellow zones, people are allowed to move freely by observing the stipulated time regulation and so forth.

Although the new MCO is carried out, people are still advised to stay home and continue observing social distancing. Eateries and restaurants are open for business with operation hours from 7 am till 10 pm on a daily basis. Only four are allowed to sit and eat in, at any one time. Regardless of the partial movement, everyone is still advice to take out or order a delivery to curb and minimize the spread of covid-19.

Shopping malls have re-opened across the valley and operating hours are from 10am till 10 pm.

For those who maintains staying home and social distancing, there’s always the online option. Another precaution measure to observe when you’re at the mall, don’t try on cloths in changing rooms and leave the store as soon as you’ve acquired your product or item.
